Trump Loses, Wins, At Supreme Court. This Washington Post primer pretty much spells out all you need to know. If you are coming to accept the likelihood that Trump will lose, you will look forward to what his post-presidency will bring–relentless civil and criminal investigations. “Paranoia Runs Deep, Into Your Life It Will Creep…”. Trump […]
Trump took a Dementia screening test …and PASSED!
John Whitehouse @existentialfish Trump tells Hannity that he “very recently” “aced” a cognitive test: “I took it at Walter Reed, a medical center, in front of doctors, and they were very surprised”

1. And Then There Were–Six! Six Rethugs vying for the chance to get 39% of the vote against incumbent Gov. John Carney. The latest is one David Graham from Smyrna. The linked article says that Graham has run for office five previous times–for governor in 2004, 2008 and 2012, and for AG in 2010 and […]
Trump campaign spokesperson Hogan Gidley pushes far-right smear about Joe Biden
These people… HOGAN GIDLEY (TRUMP CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON): I love the fact that James Carville would point to the past debates of Joe Biden. Let’s be clear, that’s why he was last in all the polls during the debates. It was only South Carolina that saved him. When you’re on a debate stage, you can’t reach […]
Song of the Day 7/9: Randy Rainbow, “Poor Deplorable Troll”
I noticed that a lot of Randy’s recent parodies have used Disney tunes, and then I remembered that half of Broadway’s musicals these days originated as the mouse house’s animated feature films. For those who didn’t watch those movies over and over when their kids were young, this one uses “Poor Unfortunate Souls” from “The […]

Is Today The Day That Trump’s Financial Records Finally Become Due? The Supreme Court decision is coming today. Trump has lost at every turn in every court in trying to keep them hidden. Once again, it’s probably come down to the Chief Justice. I look for Roberts to contort himself into a Rosemary Woods pretzel, […]
Florida was a shithole state in the best of times
Now, with a malignant Trump loving Governor, Florida is the world champion of shithole states. How long until Haiti says “no, merci” to travelers from Florida?
Trump still wants the big wet convention in that shithole. Sure. Why not? He can yell about “Democrat” governors keeping schools closed to make him look bad to a packed house of nit wits and confederacy buffs. Masks and hand washing will be banned in order to own the libs. So much winning.
Song of the Day 7/8: Styx, “Come Sail Away”
This one’s for Allan Loudell, who loved to tell the story of Styx playing at his high school prom in the early ’70s, back when the band was a popular Chicago-based regional act. The members had been together a decade at that point, but didn’t achieve wider popularity until the mid-70s. Between then and 1983, […]

Trump Demands Schools Reopen-Does Nothing To Make Schools Safe. He just wants the talking point that America is back, has no interest in protecting students, teachers, staff and their families. He and Betsy DeVos make quite the team. My daughter, who is a high school math teacher in Rhode Island, and a damn good one, […]
This Lincoln Project Ad Attempts to Freak Trump Out
How much would it cost to run this on ‘Fox and Friends’ in the DC media market? I’d contribute.
Coons’ “Good Friend” Alex Azar Mocks the Health Concerns of Teachers
Donald Trump’s health and human services secretary, Alex Azar, basically mocked the concerns of teachers about whether schools can reopen without risking the teachers’ health Tuesday, saying: “Health care workers don’t get infected because they take appropriate precautions. They engage in social distancing, wear facial covering […] This can work. You can do all of this, there’s […]
Longtime Delaware radio newsman Allan Loudell has died at the age of 64.
This sucks:
Allan was born in Western Springs, Colorado, before moving to the Chicago area, where he grew up and attended Lyons Township High School–where he would be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 1996. He went on to study communications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating in 1977.
